Controlling one's desires

Q: Can I use drugs to lower my sexual desires?

A: This is not permissible. The Hadith teaches us that if one is overcome by passion and desires, then he should get married. Through nikaah, one will be able to protect himself from committing sin. If one is unable to marry, then one should fast.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
